Characteristics
  • Long gauge strain sensor with 30cm to 10mtr measuring base (gauge length).
  • SC-01 is measuring strain between its anchoring brackets and is therefore immune to local defects or inhomogeneity.
  • Integrated temperature compensation.
  • SC-01 can be connected in series configuration.
Applications
  • Case study: Bridge monitoring
  • Strain profile in concrete or metal structures (ceiling pillars, roofs, walls)
  • Crack monitoring
  • Deformations
  • Borehole deformation (embedded or grouted)

Quality StatementThe SC-01 sensor is compliant with IEC 61757-1-1:2020, 61757-2-1:2021, and 61757:2026
All sensors are 100% tested and calibrated at SYLEX
The sensor is manufactured according to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004

Notes:

  • 1) Accuracy is established for each sensor under laboratory conditions, and it includes hysteresis, non-linearity, and repeatability of the sensor. The guaranteed value is determined based on the largest absolute error found in this sample. The typical value is determined based on the average absolute error found in this sample.
  • 2) Precision is established on a batch basis and includes hysteresis, non-linearity, repeatability, and reproducibility of the sensor. The guaranteed value is determined based on the largest absolute error found in this sample. The typical value is determined based on the average absolute error found in this sample.
  • 3) FS: full-scale measurement range.
  • 4) See the product drawing for further dimensional details.
  • 5) Cable length is extendable on request.
  • 6) Other connector types available on request.
